Our theme acknowledges the importance of providing opportunities for learners in academic and workplace settings to gain knowledge and practical skills for helping, living and connecting in a small world.

Across business, industry and academic sectors, there is growing demand and need for education, training that uses innovative pedagogies, and technologies to develop not only content knowledge, but also to enhance our understanding of each other - our languages, cultures and values locally and globally.

The 2018 MADLaT conference will bring together participants from all sectors interested in:

International education

Intercultural education in the workplace and academic settings

War-affected peoples and education

Social Innovation

Language education & education in other languages

Indigenous education

Using technology to bridge the gap between learners provincially and worldwide

Teaching with technology to enhance workplace readiness skills

Enhancing or developing sensitivities in students, workers to better understand and interact with people in a changing world

How do/should we educate for a rapidly changing world, for diversities, for technology use, for social change?

The 2018 MADLaT Conference will offer opportunities to collaborate learn and network.
